McVitie’s Funny Bones Sticky Toffee Flavour Cake (Asda) By @SpectreUK

Halloween products seem to have been understandably thin on the ground this year. This McVitie's Funny Bones Sticky Toffee Flavour Cake doesn't sound particularly scary, however it doesn't try to be either. It even says that it's "perfect with custard", which isn't scary at all. Sadly with no custard to hand we decided to munch down on this Funny Bones cake, hoping that we wouldn't find any bones to break our teeth on.

I do like this time of year between October and November as I have a sweet tooth and lots of products usually come out that are toffee flavoured. Not being able to eat real hard toffee myself as it generally results in a trip to the dentist, I prefer the soft gooey type of toffee or indeed toffee found in beer!

I usually look at any cake with anything from apprehension to downright fear of how much exercise I'll have to do before or after it to keep my weight down. This McVitie's Funny Bones Sticky Toffee Flavour Cake seems fairly low in calories at 88 calories per 25g. So no extra exercise needs to be added to my already mad regime!

As you can see from the photograph, on opening the packet the long flattish rounded cake is toffee coloured. Not too sticky on the outside, this McVitie's Funny Bones Sticky Toffee Flavour Cake is moist and sweet. In hindsight it would have gone very well indeed with custard. It has a really rich almost syrupy toffee flavour that made my mouth water and made me want more after eating it. I'm rather glad that fortunately there were no bones in the cake too!

Information on the packet; The 200g cake has 8 x 25g servings at 88 calories, with 2.8g of fat, 7.6g of sugar, and 0.3g of salt. Please see photograph for the ingredients.
